BIOE 301A: Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering Lab (previously 201A)
Practical applications of biotechnology and molecular bioengineering including recombinant DNA techniques, molecular cloning, microbial cell growth and manipulation, library screening, and DNA microarrays. Emphasis is
on experimental design and data analysis. Corequisite: 300A.
Syllabus
2 units, Fall Quarter (Cochran, J), TR 1-4PM
BIOE331: Protein Engineering
The design and engineering of optimized biomolecules emphasizing proteins. Combinatorial methodologies, protein structure and function, and biophysical analyses of modified biomolecules. Clinically relevant examples from the literature and biotech industry. Basic knowledge of biochemistry required.
Syllabus
3 units, Winter Quarter, (Cochran, J) TR 11AM-12:15PM
Offered every other year, will be taught in 2008-09
BIOE361/MATSCI381: Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine
Introduction to materials design and engineering for regenerative medicine. We will explore how materials interact with cells through their micro- and nanostructure, mechanical properties, degradation characteristics, surface chemistry, and biochemistry. Specific examples include novel materials for drug and gene delivery, materials for stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Prerequisites: undergraduate level chemistry and cell/molecular biology or biochemistry.
Syllabus
3 units, Winter Quarter (Cochran, J. and Heilshorn, S.) TR 11AM-12:15PM
Offered every other year, will not be taught in 2008-09
